I am going to preserve the only prior entry on this blog for the future [Editor's Note: No, I'm not after all. Too bad.], probably against my better judgment, because it's a good example of the narrow worldview that you see among the racialist right to which I, regrettably, once belonged. Over the years my views have changed and I don't really view life in such startk ideological terms anymore. I have also become convinced of, at the very least, the value of religion, and even to some extent the 'truth' of God (as much of my denial was grounded in misunderstanding).
The fact of the matter is that whatever the nature of Jewish influence in the USA, and it is considerable, it's never quite so simple as the view I once expressed on AoT would have anyone believe. It's not possible to limit the phenomena of a complex society to a single cause or set of causes. To do so is gratifying, and it gives you someone to cast the blame on, but it doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny and this single-mindedness is one reason racialism hasn't ever gone anywhere.
The nature of Jewish influence in the USA might be worthy of consideration from an intellectual standpoint because of its obvious and deleterious political implications. The problem, though, is there's no real telos to this analysis. At the end of the day, it will remain, without any real prospect of change or amelioration. The majority of the population does not care about this or see it as a problem. I know that many would protest this but political apathy is basically not caring enough.
The Anglo-Saxon, or more broadly, the entire group of European Protestant imperialists that made up the American pseudo-ethnos, bear at least as much blame for the current state as do the Jews. After all, it was they who made up the oligarchy in the old days, the moneyed and educated class that ran this country. And they never totally surrendered it to the Jews either. Their descendants still hold coveted positions of power to this day, whether or not they are explicitly political; it is the rule of what NN called the "permanent hidden oligarchy" that truly guides the agenda.
Protestants have always embraced values that are detrimental to civilization as such. They are materialists who value worldly success more than religious virtue. They are heretics to demand that the traditions of European religion be discarded for vague and intellectually bankrupt reasons. They are Judeophiles who imagine themselves as ancient Israelites and either ignore or hold in contempt the redemptive views that are forwarded by the New Testament. This is, as an aside, why theology is important in modern life, because it does have real implications on everyday life. Liberalism would not exist but for Protestants.
America is the apotheosis of Liberalism and that fact of its life contained the seeds of its own decay and destruction. There was no tradition, authority, religion, etc upon which a stable and enduring way of life could be founded. What there was, was an external enemy that could always be challenged and this was able to create some kind of false unity among a diverse populace. But it couldn't last, and least of all in the context of the industrial revolution and its unimaginable disruption of the old ways, much less in the context of the managerial society which has risen in the last 100 years.
America has declined to the point where there is no ethnos, no nation, no religion, no culture, no trust, no hope for a renewal. Liberalism has degenerated into a parody of itself, where the democracy is transparently a sham foisted upon us by the financial oligarchy, where a police state is needed to enforce 'tolerance','diversity', etc etc, where invasions and mass exterminations are required to 'liberate' those states that don't accept the rule of the American empire, where any attempts at living a traditional way of life are bound to be squelched by the ever-expanding power of the State.

If we are going to discuss causes, in fact, that discussion would have to include the Industrial Revolution and all subsequent explosions in technics made possible by it.
ReplyDeleteThe dominance of the financial bourgeoisie and its compatriot industries could not have existed without that.
Sandor suggested that the Romantics were too passive and that the aristocrats should have gone immediately on the offensive before the IR was fully completed. The 19th century was when the battle was decisively lost.
Are there any future prospects? It's complicated. That's worthy of another post.
I'm going to revise the above a bit when I have the time. It needs some tweaking. Protestantism in America is really a convenient fiction and generalization to present a mask of unity where there wasn't any. The unity of the American Republic was a political necessity focused by the intentions of the British Crown; apart from that, it is not clear that it ever would have been tenable.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'd agree with some of the above today, but my views have changed also. And of course, this was written in the days when it looked like the Alt-Right was actually going someplace culturally, which turned out to be a mirage. Also, it was written not too long before I decided Christianity wasn't for me. I had considered converting to Catholicism or Orthodoxy back then because of how badly the Protestant churches had declined, but then I realized it wasn't worth it because all of Christianity had been compromised. And my interest in Christianity was ultimately a reaction against atheist propaganda in my youth, but I realized there are other paths and so that ended that.
